From Wikitravel

Hello DanielC!

Welcome to Wikitravel. Please take a sec to look at our copyleft and policies and guidelines, but feel free to plunge forward and edit some pages. Scanning the Manual of style, especially the article templates, can give you a good idea of how we like articles formatted. If you need help, check out Wikitravel:Help, and if you need some info not on there, post a message in the travellers' pub.

Thank you for your contributions to Bilbao, Santander, Cambridge, Sarajevo, Granada, Cordoba, Algeciras, Gibraltar and Isle of Skye. Great effort! A couple of minor points though; You can hide the (disambiguator) by adding a pipe character (|)to the end of the name e.g. [[Place (disambiguator)|]] displays as Place. And if an article about a place does not exist yet there is no need to include the (disambiguator), just put square brackets around the place name. Also Wikitravel generally writes articles about complete destinations rather than just individual attractions. You may find our Article naming conventions and What is an article pages helpful. -- Huttite 00:52, 15 Jan 2005 (EST)

Images & Copyright

Hi Daniel! I noticed you've uploaded a ton of great photos and I just wanted to make sure you'd read the fine print about the copyleft used for all material on Wikitravel. I'm no expert, but you can post any questions you might have at the travellers' pub. Keep up the great work! Majnoona 13:45, 24 Apr 2005 (EDT)

Warm welcome....

Thanks for the warm welcome to Wikitravel. I have to admit I stumbled across this site, and just sort of 'plunged in' as the stub invites you to do. It was only once this had been done that I sorted out a user account. :-)

I will try to add some more info about the towns and villages around Eastleigh as and when I can get some time to do so.

Catch you later, David

Skye

Thanks for all the help with Skye! I vacationed there via bicycle a few years back, and it struck me as a fantastic place for travel, but I have few photos as it rained the entire time we were there. The Moil photo is a good addition. It's also appreciated that you added material for some of the villages, etc.

Any suggestions on a map? The article could use one if it's ever to make "Guide" status, and my adventures trying to produce one for Santa Fe (New Mexico) convinced me that map-making should be left to more skilled Inkscape users than I am ... -- Bill-on-the-Hill 17:20, 9 April 2006 (EDT)

Cheers. I spent about 3 days on Skye and Harris last summer - it was a relaxing, beautiful place. I agree that Wikitravel could in general do with more maps, but I also lack the skills to produce them and am awaiting a general Internet PD advance in producing them. I understand that there is also the option of looking for ones over 100? years old, which should be possible in London. As for "guide" status, the article does not seem that far off it anyway, although I am unsure how to gauge when a region article is ready for that. -- DanielC 17:30, 9 April 2006 (EDT)

Airports

No problem with the proposed removal of Brussels National Airport - I just created it because there was a red link towards it in some other article. I integrated it all in Belgium - Get there - By plane. Nevertheless, wouldn't it be interesting at a later stage in wikitravel's development to create some format for airport related articles, but in that case for all or most airports?

Nomination

Please check out Administrator nominations and let us know whether you would be willing to accept the responsibility. And thanks so much for your efforts around here! -- Colin 13:06, 13 May 2006 (EDT)

If you're around, please let us know what you think! No pressure! :-) -- Colin 22:59, 24 May 2006 (EDT)

Great job!

Thanks for taking care of the vandalism problem this morning (my time). You really made some headway! --Evan 09:52, 14 August 2006 (EDT)

Umeå

Please see Wikitravel:Article naming conventions: "Latin characters are the letters A through Z, capitalized or not, with or without accents or diacritics". So Umeå, with the funny little ball, is correct. Jpatokal 08:29, 21 August 2006 (EDT)

Hi Jpatokal. I just looked at that page, because it was one of the pages that linked to Umeå. Hasn't the policy changed recently? I am sure it used to be that we should use non-accented latin characters. I preferred the old policy, but seeing as it has changed, I was obviously in error. -- DanielC 08:32, 21 August 2006 (EDT)

It was changed, yes, but over a year ago... Jpatokal 08:44, 21 August 2006 (EDT)
